The roof on your house is the layer that sees some of the harshest treatment – and yet, it is the part of our property that we pay least attention to! Coating your roof with an additional layer not only adds another layer of much needed protection but also increases the life of your roof.
Rain, hail, sun, wind or snow, your roof will keep you dry; unless of course, there is damage or it it far too old to be offering the protection that you need from it. Adding a coating to your roof is adding an outer membrane that will shield your roof from the harshest elements. When applied correctly, there is no doubt that it will last for yours, potentially adding another 15 to 25 years to the life of your roof.
Roof coating is versatile too as there is wide selection of coating types that suit the different roofing materials prevalent in the UK. Making sure you get the right coating is important – the wrong coating will simply not bind to the roofing material.
Coating your roof is excellent when it comes to oddly-shaped roofs – it can be applied in all nooks and crannies, a great way to bind flashing and other materials together forming one large, cohesive membrane.
A roof coating is also a useful layer when it comes to preventing leaks. As it forms one large membrane once applied, it is an additional layer that is also robust enough to withstand the harshest of British weather.
Often, people don’t realise that sunlight can also be damaging, especially prolonged exposure. The coating acts as a barrier that slows down the rate of damage that harsh, prolonged sunlight can cause. This might not be something that we have to worry about too much in the UK, but UV rays are still damaging. Applying this coating is far cheaper – and hence more cost effective – than having a new roof fitted.
There is also a malleable and elastic quality to these roof coatings and so as your roof contracts and expand with the cold and heat, the protective roof coating can also expand and contract. Without this elastic quality, the coating would simply crack, rainwater could then seep in underneath. Sitting water or damp under the coating would then cause an issue eventually with the original roofing material.
Application of a roof coating material can also be fairly straightforward and simple. Some coatings can be applied with a brush or similar tool, whilst some are ‘spray painted’ on. The preparation of the roof is the essential part in the application of any type of roof coating. Crevices, guttering and any other collections of dirt, moss, weeds etc. need to be completely removed – any detritus on the roof will mean that the membrane will not form a correct seal; neither will it be robust enough to withstand the elements. There also needs to be several layers applied to the roof to make sure that the correct thickness is reached.
It is possible to apply the treatment to the roof yourself but both the working at height and preparation can be daunting, as well as hard work! Many people choose to use a reputable roof coating company. These companies can apply your coating in a professional manner, with the minimum disruption.
Applying a protective roof coating is becoming an increasingly popular choice to increase the life of your roof. Make sure you get the right coating for your roofing material, prepare the surface well and you will have a roof fit for purpose for years to come

As the saying goes ‘the Englishman’s home is his castle’, denoting the fact that our home is our refuge, a place of safety as well as the four walls and roof that shelter us from the weather, as well as life’s other grumblings. It is the place of great happiness and merriment at times too but, we need to look after it.

For our castles need looking after; they need help in facing the harsh climatic conditions as well as keeping us safe. Small leaks can soon turn our homes damp and the castle faces being penetrated and weakened.

One aspect of our home that needs taken care of is the exterior but, when budgets are tight it can be easy to think that the peeling paint and the discoloured render will be ‘just fine’ for another year.

There are options in making sure our ‘castle’ stays robust and strong for many years to come and in terms of keeping up appearances, a brilliant investment is in exterior wall coatings. But it does more than just beautify the outside of our castle; it helps keep it in tip top shape for many, many years to come…

Single walled homes, built mainly from the 1920s through to the 1930s, cannot have cavity wall insulation installed as there is no cavity to fill; exterior wall coatings is a versatile solution that sees no home, no matter how old it is, being excluded. This means that once the repairs and deep clean of the exterior walls is complete, the process of coating the walls can begin.

And so insulation is improved and with the drive by the UK Government to improve the energy-efficiency of homes and businesses across the country, it makes you home future proof in the sense your carbon emissions will be much lower than your neighbours.

But there are many other problems that creep in as the Englishman’s castle gets older in years, damp and mould can take hold. Rainwater starts to penetrate the brick and other structural materials and, before you know it, you are fighting off damp patches inside your home! Exterior wall coatings provide a much needed extra layer against the weather, rain in particular. It has a repellent surface that improves the run off of rain and stop the wet and cold from soaking into the brick. Effectively, exterior wall coatings can stop you having to spend hard-earned cash in the future on small, yet costly repairs.

There are many other benefits in opting for exterior wall coatings all of which will help you out in the long run, making your castle once again, the fortress against the weather and the rest of life’s upheavals. It will stand proud and appealing, way above surrounding properties. You won’t need to paint for years to come and the small, niggling jobs that seem to take an age to do or a lot of money to repair will be banished.

It is time you look at what exterior wall coatings could do for your property?
